I need to compile a database where table fields are updated automatically
from a work document (it could also be an excel spreadsheet).
The word/excel document is regularly updated with project tasks for a
variety of work departments. These tasks have to be logged in the database
for allocation to a workstream and given a reference number at the same time.
This reference number will refer to the department/workstream who will be
assigned the task. The database will also hold a variety of other info
relating to contacts, addresses, telephone numbers etc but I can handle those
ok.
I want to set this up so that it is easily maintained and updated by anyone
familiar with Word but not Access so an automatic update or hyperlink
function would be useful. Access would in turn produce Reports (which I can
set up).
